Do grilled cheeses here we're by far the best grilled cheeses I've ever had my wife and I both got different sandwiches and they were incredible. I recommend definitely putting this on your list when visiting The Foundry.

Tried the food here for the first time. Got the Buffalo Mac and cheese. The pasta itself was a little bland flavor wise but was very creamy, cheesy, warm and still satisfying. The Buffalo chicken on top was my favorite part! The staff were super friendly and kind, they greeted me as soon as I walked up even though they were working on other tasks. My order was ready in less than 5 minutes and was a pretty good portion size for the price. I think I'll come back here, staff made it 5 star for me today.

Why is there cheese oozing from The City Foundry? Welcome to the newest obsession in St. Louis's culinary scene: Steve’s Meltdown, nestled within the City Foundry. Brought to you by the masterminds of Steve’s Hot Dogs, The Fountain on Locust, and The Fountain on Delmar, two of our favorites, Steve Ewing and Danni Eickenhorst. I liked the ciabatta bun pizza grilled cheese option myself so give that one a try. Make it vegetarian by removing the pepperoni! They always a specialty sandwich on the menu too! Stop in and check them out!

The food's fine, no complaints. But the service was wonderful. Guy behind the counter laughs and jokes with customers as he cooks, talks about his kids, answers questions promptly. Just a friendly, helpful guy running a gpod lunch spot for people like me who were too lazy to make something today. I'll be back, I'm sure.

I was drawn in by the jalapeno popper grilled cheese and greeted with so much kindness and compassion the employees are so wonderful! they let me know how much time it would be for my food to be ready and how they would call me to pick it up. we chatted the entire time while my food was being prepared about taking care of the people around us. their hearts are so big and their dedication to community is truly admirable! my sandwich hit the spot and was a perfect 10/10. let’s continue to uplift each other and eat delicious grilled cheese!!! :-)
